Textile Heritage Tours
The modern carpet industry
began with a small town girl
and a bedspread. Now known
as the “Carpet Capital of the
World”, Dalton shares the
journey from tufted bedspreads
through modern manufacturing
with the Whitfield County
Textile Heritage Trail,
which will be completed in
2018. On this self-guided
driving tour, visitors will see
key locations in Whitfield
County’s textile history. From
chenille shacks to mill villages
and carpet manufacturers,
witness the evolution from hand
tufting to mass production.”
Historic Western
and Atlantic Railroad
Tunnel, Museum,
General Store &
Clisby Austin House
Just 5 miles North of Downtown
Dalton stands a true marvel of
engineering. Built completely
by hand in just 22 months, the
Historic Western & Atlantic
Railroad Tunnel was completed in
1850. It was later abandoned
in 1928 when a larger parallel
tunnel was opened nearby.
Visitors can take guided tours
through the entire length of
1,477-foot tunnel, where
steam from the original trains’
exhaust is still visible on the
ceiling. The museum contains
interesting artifacts from the
tunnel, along with railroad
memorabilia including an
original section of 19th century
strap rail and a fine display
of the “Sherman Necktie”
method of destroying the
rails during the Civil War. So
whether you are an average
museum goer or a history
buff, this tunnel is a unique
chance to step back into
American History.
